Post Op

Jansen had postop this morning. Look at how much the bandage has moved since last week. He is doing GREAT!! Yesterday he was outside trying to play baseball with a friend. I quickly put a stop to that. We are suppose to keep him low key for another 3 weeks. This is going to be very hard for him.


The Dr. was very please with the way Jansen is healing. He took the bandage off his stomach and told us to keep ointment on it. We even got a quick look at the "new ear" before they put the new bandage on. It's still swollen a pretty good bit, BUT you can definitely see the new ear under all the swelling. As the swelling goes down you will begin to see the ridges that are throughout the outer ear. Before you scroll down to look at the pic let me remind you that this is a 4 stage surgical process. And we are just on stage 1. Right now it looks like his "little" ear is sitting on top of the new ear. AND THAT IS WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE :) The 2nd stage of surgery is called "earlobe repositioning", this is where they will take Jansen's "little ear" and reposition it to be his "new" earlobe. Right now we are pleased with the results and Jansen is getting more excited about the finished product in the near future.
Your prayers are still greatly appreciated as the healing process continues on. 2nd Stage surgery is scheduled for mid January.

We will take the head bandage off for good on Thursday and wash his nasty hair. The Kenty's have a lot to be Thankful for this Thanksgiving. We hope everyone has a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
